Inventor: SHIELD HENRY
Filed: 1897-11-03
Granted: 1898-10-29
Abstract: 25,487. Shield, H., and Anderson, J. Nov. 3. Baling-presses.-Baling-presses for cotton, jute, . hemp, &c. that press the materials first upwards into a box a, where they are supported by a grid b, and then subject them to a final pressure by hydraulic cylinders d and a follower e, have brackets l on the follower that are guided by bars k bolted to the columns h of the press, in order that the finished bale may be rectangular. The final pressure is applied with the doors a open, and in order that the follower shall not foul them they are arranged to unlock the fluid-pressure. supply to the press d when both are fully open. In Fig. 1 the fluid-pressure valve m is closed until its rod o is allowed to drop into recesses in two horizontal rods p which are operated by levers q, r from the doors a. In another case, weighted brakes prevent a rotating valve from being turned until they are released by the completely-opened doors. Instead of guiding the follower by bars k, blocks may be fixed to the columns h with pivoted slippers that may be swung aside when it is necessary for the flange on the top of the follower to pass them.

Title: Improvements in Syphoning or Flushing Apparatus.
Inventor: LEONARD PETER
Filed: 1898-03-16
Granted: 1898-07-16
Abstract: 6450. Leonard, P., and Hall, W. March 16. Water - waste preventers, siphon - discharge. The tank is divided into a large chamber B and a small chamber A, the latter containing the ball float, not shown, for operating the supply pipe cock. The chamber B is first filled, the water then flowing over the partition C till the chamber A is partially filled, as shown, when the supply is cut off, this arrangement permitting the rapid filling of the chamber B through a fully-open cock. A siphon pipe H, with a trap J and discharge pipe I, projects slightly above the normal level of the water and is covered by a bucket F guided by a ring F<1> and spindle G, and normally forced upwards by air chambers F<2> on the bucket. A pinhole t in the top of the bucket allows air to escape during the filling, but is too small to affect the siphon action. The spindle is held by a spring bolt and catch K, which is released by pressing a push L, Fig. 4, connected by cranks, chains, &c. with the bolt. On allowing the bucket to rise, a siphon action is set up over the top of the pipe H, emptying the chamber B, the discharge also starting a siphon action in the pipe R which empties the chamber A into the discharge pipe I. A ball float N in the chamber B operates a lever O<1> as the water level falls, and causes a pin P to engage the bolt K, preventing the push L from being again operated till the chamber B has been sufficiently refilled. An overflow pipe S is provided, and an opening or channel is cut in the edge of the tank. between the normal level of the water and the top of the pipe H, to allow for and indicate overflow &c. The supply pipe is brought to the bottom of the tank to deaden the sound of the incoming water, and an air vent provided at the top to prevent siphoning.

Title: Cigar Bunch Making Machine.
Inventor: PISKO EMANUEL
Filed: 1898-05-12
Granted: 1899-04-08
Abstract: 10,879. Pisko, E. May 12. Cigars.-Apparatus for making bunches from long filler tobacco. Fig. 4 shows a vertical section of the machine, and Figs. 6, 7, and 8 the device for forming and tearing off the filler or bunch. The tobacco is fed over the table I between adjustable gauges B', by a pair of endless bands J, P<1> driven by ratchet &c. mechanism to feed the tobacco forward at the required times. Other forms of feeding- apparatus may be used. The tobacco is fed over a table R<1> into the shaping- device, which consists of a pair of jaws b, b<4> hinged together and provided with a curved recess in which the filler is formed. The upper jaw is hinged at b<2> to the lower jaw b, and the latter is hinged to the framing at b<1>. When the tobacco is fed into the jaws the upper jaw is closed down on to the jaw b, Fig. 7, and a. plate S' descends and holds the tobacco on the table R', while it is torn off by the jaws. Further movement of the rod which operates the jaw b<4> moves the two jaws downward on the pivot b<1>, tearing off the filler from the rest of the tobacco. The final movement of the operating- rod opens the jaws, Fig. 8, to deliver the filler to a rolling-mecbanism of any suitable form. The lower jaw b strikes the rolling-table with just sufficient force to dislodge the filler. The jaws are raised by a sliding rod c<7> connected to the lower jaw b and operated by a cam on the shaft. The upper jaw is then opened, Fig. 6, by its operating-rod, which is actuated by cams on the shaft. The rods operating the jaws are moved by the cams so that they operate the jaws positively and smoothly through all their movements. When a wet filler is fed it will stick in and not leave the jaws, so that they return with it to normal position, and further feed of the tobacco then blocks the jaws and prevents their descent, so that the machine will be stopped by the slipping or throwing-off of the driving-band. The rolling-mechanism may be such as is described in Specification No. 10,880, A.D. 1898.

Patent GB-189813160-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Fog Signalling Apparatus for Railways.
Inventor: WOOD GEORGE
Filed: 1898-06-13
Granted: 1898-10-29
Abstract: 13,160. Wood, G., and Mills, W. June 13. Fog and audible signals.-Relates to fog-signalling apparatus of the kind described in Specification No. 4078, A.D. 1896, in which the detonators are fed in succession from a magazine, by a slide operated by the depresser rail D, and are exploded by the punch P when the train passes over the latter. In the present invention, the slide K, which feeds the detonators B from the magazine M, is connected to the shaft I, which has an arm H engaged in a notch in the sliding bar G. The feed-motion is transmitted from the depresser rail D through the weighted bell-crank lever C, the arm E of which has an L-shaped slot e engaging a pin F on the bar G. The arm Q of a second weighted lever lies beneath the arm E, and also beneath the arm Sw of the weighted bell-crank lever S, the latter lever being connected by the wire T to the signal-operating mechanism. When the signal is put to 'safety,' the arm Sw is raised, and allows the arm Q to raise the arm E, until the pin F rests in the horizontal part of the slot e, so putting the feed-mechanism out of action. By the same movement, the stud m on the lever S raises the weighted arm Vw on the rocking shaft Y, and so lowers the depresser rail, which is pivoted on arms fixed to the end of this and similar rocking shafts. The apparatus may be duplicated, the arms V on the shaft Y being coupled by the rod W, and the magazine may have a number of compartments which are brought successively into position by a rectilinear feedmotion.

Title: Improvements in Adjustable Pendants for Lamps or the like.
Inventor: SCHLESINGER DAVID
Filed: 1899-03-04
Granted: 1899-06-10
Abstract: 4834. Schlesinger, D. March 4. Gasaliers, chandeliers, and oil-lamp pendants.- Relates to means for facilitating the adjustment of the extensible tube in those pendants in which the locking is effected by jamming balls between the extensible tube and a conical surface. A projection on the extensible tube d works in a vertical slot e<1> in an outer tube e, which terminates in a socket f provided with a spiral groove f<1>. A pin b<1> in the conical box b engages with the groove f<1>, and steel balls g in the three or more apertures f<2> in the socket f run between the tube d and the box b, and are displaced with the socket f according as the tube d is raised or lowered. Normally, the weight of the suspended object locks the parts in the relative positions shown in Fig. 2. The position of the extensible tube d is varied by slightly rotating that tube towards the right hand. The engagement of the projection on the tube d with the slot e<1> causes the tube e and the socket f to participate in the rotation and mount spirally upon the pin b<1> to the position shown in Fig. 3. The balls g then occupy a position in which there is sufficient space between the tube d and the box b to allow the tube to be adjusted as desired, the weight of the suspended object, reinforced if necessary by a spring, causing the parts to return to the locking position when the tube d is released.

Abstract: 7833. Tannett-Walker. F. W. April 27. Cranes.-Fig. 2 shows a plan of a travelling crane. The traveller is traversed by a crab c on rails a<3>, and by a carriage d, carrying a horizontal pulley d<2>, on rails a'. The rope g attached to the carriage d at g<1>, passes around pulleys a<6> and a<7> to the crab c, thence around the fall-block, back to the crab c and pulley a<8>, to a fixed point g' on the traveller. The lifting-hook therefore rises and falls with the movement of the carriage d. The rope e from the fixed hydraulic cylinders passes around a pulley a<5> on the traveller, the pulley d' on the carriage, and the pulley a<5>, also on the traveller, to a fixed point e<1>. The carriage d can thus be operated independently of the position of the traveller. In some cases, the haulage ropes for the traveller are supported on pulleys on crossshafts, the ends of which are fitted with pulleys to run on the rails b. Each shaft is in the bight of a rope, one end of which is fixed to the traveller and the other to the end wall. It consequently moves at half the speed of the traveller.
